Apply through PostBaccCAS
Minimum GPA: 3.3

Additional requirements: 2 letters of recommendation for both programs. Although not required, please include the scores for MCAT and/or GRE as part of your application, if you have taken them.
Message from the program: In general, the GCAT and MATS program first-year curricula are the same. If students are deciding between each program, we can easily switch them to the preferred program based on their goals. Students with a lower GPA would benefit from attending the MATS program compared to the GCATS program. Both programs offer courses similar to the pre-clinical curriculum for medical school and the programs are taught by the same faculty in our medical school. We offer smaller class sizes, that typically range from 15-25 students and dedicated individualized advising. Our well-rounded advising team can help students build their medical school applications with confidence and ease. A unique experience our program offers is that students are able to participate in dissections during their anatomy course, which is something not all medical students even get to experience. Our program’s goal is to provide a whole connection between the courses that we offer, which will set students up for success on their pre-health journey.

Tuition: $27,725 per semester

Message from the program: One of the many things that sets Hofstra University apart from other programs is it is not a lock-step program. Students meet with program advisors to review their transcripts and set up a completely personalized study program based on their goals and interests. In addition to having a completely tailored program, students are also able to take courses outside of the sciences, if they choose to. Hofstra’s program offers all the same support services that undergraduates receive such as tutoring, career, and counseling services. Students are also eligible for any federal student financial aid that they qualify for. Hofstra also offers a Health Scholars Program which is run in collaboration with the Zucker Hofstra School of Medicine. The Scholars programs offers a monthly lecture series on topics of general knowledge which students should be aware of if they are pursuing a career in the health professions. The lectures are given by the medical school science faculty and provides a unique learning experience. Previous topics have included: the opioid epidemic, physician assisted suicide, patient safety, etc.. Our program also offers a clinical research internship with one of our affiliated hospitals where students get the opportunity to conduct research and shadow physicians. Post-Bacc students are given priority registration for science courses. Students who earn 32 credits receive a certification and if you earn 16 credits you can sit before the committee.

Message from the program: Texas Tech offers students a fully immersed curriculum experience in their pre-medical journey. Our program is a 2-year master’s program, in which students receive a master’s degree at the end, unlike other certificate programs. We break our courses into blocks and while medical students will take 2 blocks of courses in the Fall and 1 2 blocks of courses in the Spring, our students are required to complete the first 3 out of the 4 blocks, where the students are fully immersed with other students who are in medical school. In the second year, students act as teaching assistants for the blocks they completed in their first year of the program, which allows students to contribute in many ways to future cohorts of medical students. Students in their second year are required to complete and present a research project during our Annual Research Week. The program consists of small cohorts of 15-18 students per year to enhance the cohesiveness between faculty and students. Our program was re-accredited in 2021 by a review committee from professionals all over the country. The committee determined that our program is an outstanding success and that the students exhibited a tremendous amount of active engagement, along with being happy and collegial. Our faculty is extremely invested in the program and our student’s success. We have found that the students that complete this program and come to Texas Tech for medical school become class leaders, either the President or Vice-President of their class. They also excel better than their classmates in medical school due to already being familiar with and assisting in teaching the curriculum. Finally, if students are in good standing at the end of their first year, they are guaranteed an interview at Texas Tech and our sister campus in El Paso.

What Are Post-Baccalaureate Programs?
Post-bacc programs are often one to two years in length, some very structured (and others more flexible in nature) and result in either a degree, certificate, master’s degree, or no additional designation. Due to the variability of possible designations, these programs offer both undergraduate or graduate level courses.
Post-baccalaureate programs are useful for students who have completed a bachelor’s degree, but do not feel they are strong applicants to medical schools, vet schools, dental schools or nursing schools for a variety of reasons. Such reasons may include low GPA and unmet medical school prerequisites, or they desire extra time to devote to gaining experiences highly valued by medical school such as clinical work or research. One of our former BeMo students, Alison Edwards, was an ICU nurse who became a non-traditional med school applicant…thus, she pursued a post-bacc to improve her GPA and take the appropriate medical school prerequisites. More on her journey later…
Will a Masters or PhD Help You Get Into Med School? Watch this video:
You may be wondering what the difference is, and more importantly, which designation and program might best suit you: For those with low GPA, it may be more effective to complete an undergraduate post-bacc program as there is a higher likelihood to improve your GPA. Although your GPA may be improved by taking graduate level courses, not all medical programs include graduate level courses in their GPA calculation; so this is certainly an important consideration! It is important to check the medical programs you are interested in and determine if your GPA from graduate courses will be included in the calculation prior to enrolling in a graduate program for the goal of improving your GPA.
Additionally, some students enter university without considering medical school as their goal. Or, they may be changing careers. If this is your situation, you may not have completed all the necessary prerequisites required for medical school or the MCAT. There are particular programs that are catered to those changing career directions and provide MCAT support and/or academic advising for medical school. Students in these situations often find working with an academic advisor to be particularly beneficial; take it from one of ours:
“Dr. Kassam was awesome! She was very through in explaining the medical school admissions process (specifically for US) and was more than willing to spend an extra couple minutes in clarifying any questions I had. She gave me a very detailed overview on each aspect of the medical school criteria and how I can work on strengthening each aspect (study plans for GPA, building relationship with professors for improved grades and rec-letter etc.). She was a great mentor for my introductory session and I'm glad she was my introduction to BeMo consulting!” – Anonymous, Former BeMo Student
Other students may come from economically or educationally disadvantaged groups or visible minorities and certain programs cater to their economic needs with an aim of increasing visibility of diversity in medical school. Post-bacc programs also provide additional supports in applying for medical school including interview preparation, pre-requisite courses to increase your MCAT score and application counselling.
Are you wondering why med school prerequisites are important?
But, what about graduate-level post-bacc programs? Those who may have excelled academically and may have initially considered other programs including a master’s degree, may opt for the graduate level to pursue thesis or course-based programs in their area of interest such as medicine, while also having the opportunity to engage in non-academic components of their applications such as shadowing hours, research or volunteerism.
Pro tip: Investing in an expert to help with your med school application is key. Whether or not you pursue a post-bacc designation or consult an academic advising service, it can be helpful to have assistance in preparing your application, as you only have one shot at getting it right! One of our former premed students told us,
“My experience with Dr Christina Aide as a mentor was great! She really focused on my schedule, my needs and what the extra volunteer I could do in order to boost my medical school application!” – Anonymous, Former Premed BeMo Student.
What Are the Requirements for Post-Bacc Admission?
There are a few requirements to make note of for post-bacc admissions:
- 1. GPA Requirements -- It is best to check out the AAMC portal for program specific requirements. However, the GPA requirements for post-bacc admission range from 2.5-3.3.
- 2. Testing and Scores -- Your MCAT, DAT, or GRE score must be above the 40th percentile. Some programs require admission SAT of up to 1200/1600 or a GRE of 1750, ACT of up to 24 or a GMAT of at least 50%; it varies. Most boast high medical school acceptances rates for students who apply right after the post-bacc, anywhere from a 50-100% acceptance rate. Some programs require students to complete the CASPer test or other Altus Suite components prior to applying for the post-bacc program.
- 3. Additional Application Materials -- Some post-bacc programs do require a personal statement.
- 4. Many Post-bacc Programs are Limited to U.S Citizens -- This is useful to know if you’re an international applicant pursuing a post-bacc in the US. Always check with each individual program.
To be eligible for a post bacc, your MCAT, DAT, or GRE score must be above the 40th percentile:
Reasons to Consider a Post-Bacc Program
1. Complete Your Medical School Prerequisites
For those who had other career goals and may not have considered medicine, choosing a career changer program will allow you to complete the pre-requisites for medical school, have seminars on MCAT preparation and medical school applications and may provide guidance on volunteer and shadowing experiences. It’s no secret that if you’re a non-traditional applicant—whether you’re a mature student or come from a non-science background – the application process for med school can be daunting. That’s why people consult experts, and/or consider post-bacc programs, prior to applying to med school:
“I'm a non traditional (read, a few years out from undergrad) applying to medical school. Naturally, I feel a bit out of my element. Thankfully, I was assigned Dr. Megan Aoki. She was incredibly good at providing me with the information I requested, listening to my unique concerns, and working with me to generate an action plan to allow me to move forward in the most effective was possible.” – CF, Former BeMo Student.
2. Improve Your Low GPA
If you do not meet the cutoffs for GPA in your schools of choice, considering an academic record enhancer program will give you the opportunity to improve your GPA. As mentioned earlier, one of our former students, Alison Edwards, described undertaking a “DIY post-bacc” program to fulfill her pre-med prerequisites and improve her GPA. This was a process she embarked on after realizing her “true calling in medicine beyond her initial career as a pediatric ICU nurse.” As a non-traditional applicant, she opted for a self-structured post-baccalaureate journey, as there was some overlap between nursing and medical school requirements. Alison’s experience underscores the importance of persistence and adaptability for non-traditional students transitioning into medicine; and, how a post-bacc program can significantly improve one’s GPA.
3. Develop Complementary Skills to Improve Your Medical School App
Medical school applications consider both academic and non-academic components in your application. Although students must demonstrate academic rigor through their GPA and MCAT, it is important to also consider the non-academic components such as exposure to the medical field, shadowing, volunteer, networking, collaboration and research experience. Graduate programs with a thesis component offer research opportunities that will allow you to demonstrate your analytical, collaborative and problem-solving capabilities and may also provide opportunities to get a medical school recommendation letter from your supervisor for medical school applications. Depending on the project, you may be able to present your work, even if preliminary, or may lead to publishing opportunities, both of which can be highlighted on your applications.
4. More Time to Prepare Your Application
There are many components to include in your medical school application in addition to your MCAT and GPA. Many post-bacc programs support the non-academic components of your application including extracurriculars for medical school that will bolster your application. Many programs also offer seminars on MCAT preparation for those who have not yet written their MCAT or who want to improve their score, as well as medical school application seminars that outline the process.

What to Consider When Applying to Post-Baccalaureate Programs
In summary, there are many factors to consider when selecting which post-bacc program to apply to.
- Consider your individual circumstances as an applicant?
- Consider what your interests are when searching for programs.
- Undergraduate vs. graduate program? Undergraduate programs are likely to help you improve your GPA, whereas graduate post-baccs may offer more nuanced research courses.
- Where do you hope to do medical school? Becoming a post-bacc student at your dream medical school may mean easier acceptance, assuming you meet the medical school requirements. Some post-bacc programs are affiliated with medical schools and allow post-bacc student to study with medical school students, exposing them to the medical program.
- Consider your current academic performance. Do you meet the minimum admission requirements?
- What is the length of the program? Most post-bacc programs are one to two years in length.
- Is it part-time or full-time? Part-time programs are less common, but they offer options of working, engaging in additional clinical experiences, or tending to life circumstances.
Keep in mind the potential disadvantages of special master's programs and other postbacc programs:

hello there, I am a Canadian pre-med student and wondered if the post-bac programs are only available in the US. If so, are they only accessible to domestic students or also to international students as well?
